Public Hydrogen Audio post

I have been told several times that "what happens on IRC, stays on IRC", and that
sort of attitude is quite annoying to deal with, because then people can be jackasses
on IRC and mostly put on a facade of acceptable behavior on web forums and web sites.

I already left the private alpha foobar2000 chat because Peter thought it was
appropriate to refer to a telemarketer who rang him up at 5:30am as the n-word.

I was contacted by an old acquaintance recently about getting up to speed on foobar2000
components and rejoining the community, and was fed a lengthy diatribe about how great
a developer I am, and how someone of lower stance as him is able to develop an app that
runs on millions of computers, so I should be destined for greatness too.

Then I was told that he heard from the foobar community that I "went LGBTQ+ on them",
implying that this was a sudden "change" in my behavior and dismissing the whole point
of it. Then he said "just be you, you don't need a movement". That dismissal disappointed
me greatly. I terminated the conversation right there, and decided I would not be
installing a Windows VM to proceed with Visual Studio projects.

I will, however, look into extending the Strawberry audio player in the future, if it
is indeed feasible to do so, especially for all platforms it supports.
